I need to analyse a channel cross section using the manning equation to determine the 100 year flood elevation. Is there a free program that I can use to input the channel geometry and then apply different Q values to get the water surface elevation. I am only going to be doing one section so...

This problem can't be that difficult. There must be simplifying conservative assumptions that can be used to solve this problem. If the conservative assumptions prove to be a problem then a more detailed analysis is required. Any positive comments are appreciated.

Can someone provide a good design reference for evaluating the capacity of an elevated two way slab for its ability to support a crane or forklift. This question has come up in our office and we have referred the question to a civil engineer. Before sending the solution to the engineer we...

Thank you - That worked. Tried to purge drawing and remove layer filters but the size is still over 2.5MB. Printing this way worked.

I am running CAD 2005 to print 2D civil drawings. When I select the option to fill the text (textfill) my pronter is running out of memory. I have a Design Jet 750C. The plot file is about 2.5MB (less than the 3MB printer memory). When I get the out of memory error, the drawing border is not...

I am running CAD 2005. Is there a way to fill in text. The text letters are big and each has an ouline, but want the outline to be filled in.

I am using CAD 2005. I am using a plot file where each color has a specific lineweight and screening. Is it possible to print the colors so I can see how dark the colors print and the lineweight. Once I have a reference I plan on using it to select the color for various objects in my drawing...

I received a CAD drawing. Included on the CD with the drawing was a .ctb file for the color plot styles that are to be used when plotting the drawing. How do I assign the .ctb file to the CAD drawing so I can print the file? I am using CAD 2005. Thank you.
